Today’s Club Pairs was played in rather different conditions to last Tuesday’s West Yorks Cup match. the temperature was 20+ degrees cooler and we had rain, rain, and more rain. However 14 pairs braved the inclement weather and we had quite a long break between games 2 and 3. At least no triple and no bye. 

The last game was going to provide the winner with Nell/Brendan playing Maureen/Sue, both on 2 wins – all the others back in the Clubhouse had lost a game. 

Finally Nell/Brendan won with 3 wins +10, second was Maureen/Sue with 2 wins +8 and third Andy S partnering our potential new member Phil 2 wins +6 – a very creditable performance for a new player. 

It was nice that all pairs achieved a least 1 win. 

1  Nell/Brendan   3 wins +10 

2  Maureen/Sue   2 wins +8 

3  Andy S/ Phil – don’t know surname yet 2 wins +6 

4  Marie/Sandie 2 wins +5 

5  Nigel/Jane G 2 wins -1 

24 people turned up for Bastille Day. We had bread, cheese, and biscuits washed down with french wine and we raised £55 for our charity with a raffle. More pictures here

The West Yorkshire league was played in May, June and July and we came 5th out of 6.

It could have been better. There were two unexpected home defeats but on the other hand there were two unexpected away wins. Thanks to all members who played in the team. We’ll be starting squad training in the autumn to hopefully climb the table next year.

The West Yorkshire Cup follows the league with a slightly different format. Two same sex triples followed by 3 mixed pairs. We played a quarterfinal on the hottest day of the century and beat Wetherby to make it to the semi final where we will play Mirfield. Final will be towards the end of August. We’ll tell members where and when if we get there.

A group of ex Round Table members visited the terrain on Tuesday 12th for an evening of pétanque. 18 people arrived and played a 2 round competition.

Because of limited time we didn’t play all matches to 13 points but when it was all over 4 players had won both their games.

It was decided on points difference and the winner was Vaughan who apparently wore his medal throughout the dinner at the Croppers which followed the competition.

Thanks to Robin, Rita, Graham, and Paul who acted as coaches/Umpires on the evening.

Ladies Pairs has been cancelled due to lack of entries. There will be social play instead
